Muscat: The Court of Appeal in Muscat adjourned the hearing in the cases of bloggers and activists on Wednesday.

Last month the court had put off the hearing of 16 Omanis for different reasons. On Wednesday the court adjourned the hearing for six activists — Esmail Al Muqabali, Nabhan Al Hanashi, Ishaq Al Aghbari, Ali Al Haji, Mohammad Al Jamoudi and Mohammad Al Kiyumi — to November 21.

Meanwhile, the Muscat Primary Court also adjourned the hearing in the case of six bloggers to December 5 as a technical expert was called to testify a defence claim that their social accounts were hacked.
